to illness

It was such a horrible week, and the weather did not help either. I had been coughing for the past week and it interfered with my sleep as well. At night when I turned on the air conditioning, I coughed and sneezed and was unable to sleep. After the air-cond was off, it became so hot and humid that I tossed and turned like a ramly burger patty being pan-fried >.<

So on Friday, I overdosed on Pei Pa Ko. By then, my tummy ached everytime I coughed and even my voice had turned hoarse from all that coughing. A good day of bed rest and nothing but has made me a bit more sane today, but I still have some difficulty breathing when I exert myself. So I’m forcing myself to not move around too much.

I now have some chicken broth (“shiong tong” in cantonese) in the slow cooker. Mom’s recipe – spring onions, peppercorns, ginger, shallots and chicken. Planning to have some warm soup noodles for later. It’s been a gloomy day and I’m only starting to wash my clothes at 1pm. Hope they will be able to dry by tonight… oh wth, they can hang there overnight for all I care. I’m not feeling well.
